The Brexit Party has won in 9 of the 11 regions so far counted.

 

How many seats in the European Parliament did Change UK get - the new party that was formed to fight against Brexit? Zero seats at the last count. 

 

I don't say this to gloat. I'm just pleased that all this talk about the country now wanting to remain in the EU has been proven as simply wishful thinking from the remain side. 

Surely we can all agree now that a 2nd referendum would give us the same result as the first one - a narrow win for Leave. 

Looking at the results, your post is nonsense. How anybody can reach your conclusions is totally incomprehensible.

"Surely"? No. Referendum is counted on total numbers. Hard Brexit less than <40% on the Euro election. Hard Brexit does not auto win at all. But good luck with the spinning.

Easy. Hard Brexiteers come to a conclusion and then make up the justifications. From beginning to end.

Since when was 32% a triumph?

Well it is more of a triumph than say 15% or 11% or 9% or whatever. I suppose this is what happens when you do not have a straight two party fight.

You raise a good point. That's just the people who want a 'hard' brexit. Imagine if you added to that the people who want to leave with a deal. 

You can't continue to pretend the UK population has swung to Remain after these results. 

 

Perhaps if remainers concede now and get behind Brexit who knows - we might just get a decent deal. 

Clearly you're imagining all kinds of things which may possibly be based in fact.

If you remove the threat of No Deal from the table, why would the EU negotiate anything other than has already been negotiated/agreed (and they've said many times that they won't).

No Deal is not a negotiating ploy. It is what the Hard Brexiteers want.

Hard Brexiteers spinning that Soft Brexit is on the same side. Which it isn't.

Some people should try using a dictionary.

That is correct , they could even vote from abroad

 

 

This I can’t beleive. Your saying that none Brits,who are citizens of the E.U. Can vote in our elections,even if they are not living in the U.K.

Is that fact or just a personal opinion ? 

Its not exactly rocket science. Well maybe for some of the dozy Hard Brexiteers it is. You know, the ones who were denouncing Soft Brexiteers as traitors 5 minutes ago. Duh!

Unlike in General Elections (to the UK https://www.euronews.com/2019/04/26/how-do-european-parliament-elections-work-in-the-uk-and-how-do-i-vote), European Parliament elections are also open to citizens of the other 27 EU countries who are resident in the UK, if they are aged 18 or over on election day. They can vote either in their home country or in the UK, where they must register by May 7. Details are available on the UK government website and the European Parliament website

Yes, in the same way that the small %age of Bangkok Elite 'know better' than the rest of the country. That's just a stupid comment.

Yes. I should have excluded Chelsea fans from the smarter Londoner observation.
